Well as the headline says, how do you?

DD is just on 16 months and she really isn't a big talker. She says a couple things, which are in context, like "wee" for swing, or if she's on the swing/slippery dip, says "go", "key" for Mickey mouse (or minnie mouse, or Pluto lol) occasionally says something that sounds like thankyou, but I'm not sure if that's coincidence or not as she doesn't say it all the time, I think there may be another word or two, but I can't think off the top of my head. She does babble and say other "words" like mum, dad, bub, etc. but not TO us ITMS.
It's only started coming to my mind recently as she's started getting very frustrated to the point of throwing tantrums when I don't understand what as wants straight away. I ask her what she wants and if it's not correct, she throws herself on the ground and starts crying until I can guess what she wants.

I do know she has a short fuse when she wants food, there's no build up, it's just like she realises she wants food one second then she instantly starts crying until she has some, but it's also with other things.

I guess my point is, I wish I could help her express what she wants in words more to reduce the unnecessary tantrums and upset!

Any advice?
